Smoke Test Promotion votes

Instructions:

Use a red X (fail) icon () to signify that the
build should not be promoted, that a respin is required. In that case, please
provide bug number and be sure those that need to fix something are aware of it,
and can arrange for a respin.

If a smoke test does not pass but the build can still be
promoted, use a green check mark (ok) icon () but then
document in the comments bug numbers, how the smoke test fails, workarounds,
or cautions about the build.

If a build can be promoted and no issues were found, simple use
the green check mark and include the initials or names of who performed the test.

Remember the significant column for promoting a build is the left-most
project column. If some component within a project has not (or can not)
be tested, the Project Lead should either make sure someone does the test,
or makes a judgment call on if the build (from their project's point of view)
can be promoted or not. If the smoke test could not be performed, a note
should be made in the comments section that it wasn't performed, why, and
why that should prevent promotion.

Keep in mind the threshold for promoting a build
gets higher as we near a milestone or near a release.
